Modules you will study

This module will equip students with the ability to take fundamental engineering concepts to the next level to ensure that they can perform effectively on a Master’s course. It will examine mechatronics – the integration of mechanical, electronic and computing sub-systems – and provide an opportunity to demonstrate learned skills by completing a design project a brief set by the Leicester International Pathway College. Students will study real-life applications of mechatronics in practice and the crucial role it plays in the disciplines of product design, machine design and process design. The role of microprocessors in managing essential systems is examined in depth along with programming.

Students will be given the opportunity to demonstrate academic ability and practical skills by completing a major project as part of the course. It will be completed over several weeks and students will have individual tutor support throughout. Students will be expected to complete a substantial piece of research or product development work on an engineering topic chosen in consultation with tutors. The topic will involve formulating problems, conducting literature reviews and evaluating information. Successful completion of this module will equip you to progress onto the masters at DMU. You will be expected to present your work to the group to build presentation and communication skills.

Upon successful completion of the Pre-Master’s (Stage 1), you will continue onto stage 2 of your chosen IIM degree at DMU.

Gain insight and understanding into the approach and philosophy of engineering management, demonstrating the essential features and key areas of modern management required by engineers entering into their first management role.

Supporting students to success

Learn more about what our students have to say when studying across our education network.

As DMUIC is situated in England’s most vibrant and multicultural city, I had the opportunity to make friends from different countries. The most amazing thing was that the DMUIC staff including all teachers and the office persons were very motivational and welcoming. They provide the best routes for study to every individual.”

Syed Asim Pakistan , De Montfort University International College (DMUIC)

I’ve enjoyed studying at DMUIC, the tutors are excellent and have helped me settle into life as a university student. They are also really supportive and have helped myself and other students with other issues outside of the classroom such as accommodation.

Nafisa Bangladesh , De Montfort University International College (DMUIC)

I have successfully progressed onto my degree course at the University of Bradford because of UBIC's reliable policies and teaching programme. To the new students, those who just started their foundation at Bradford International College, I must say you are going to pass the class, the only thing required is your attention and leave the rest on UBIC's staff because they are the one that are going to lead you to a brilliant future as it is a pathway to success.

Shoaib Pakistan , University of Bradford International College

I have a lot of international friends here at BUIC, and I’ve learnt so much from them. There is always a lot to do together both on and off-campus.

Sagar Nepal , Bangor University International College (BUIC)

I would recommend UGIC because it is based on the main University of Greenwich campus, a cosmopolitan university. At UGIC, there are students from all around the world, and I've made a lot of friends from exciting places."

Gozel Turkmenistan , University of Greenwich International College

I think one of the main reasons the IIM (pre-masters) has been so helpful is because the staff are so supportive and are always able to help me. Whether it is understanding a module or finding out how to sort accommodation, they will help you with everything. I’ve enjoyed studying at Bangor, the people are friendly, and the environment is also really peaceful and safe. It’s given me the best opportunity to succeed in my studies here in the UK.
